Organizer:

Moralistic Politics. A workshop held at Princeton, 5/19/07. See .

Darwin’s Business, a workshop at NYU-Stern School of Business on 4/19/13.

Research Interests: Morality, emotion, ideology, and the psychology of capitalism. Specific projects include:

1) Business Ethics. Applying moral psychology to help leaders create organizations that end up behaving ethically, often by roundabout methods. I lead a multi-disciplinary collaboration of researchers. See

2) The moral psychology of capitalism. I’m now writing a book on how moral psychology made capitalism possible, and sometimes makes it more difficult. I’m hoping to de-polarize discussions of capitalism and make them more fruitful and less moralistic. See

3) Moral intuition: Investigating the role of intuition and affect (versus reasoning) in moral judgment. Developing Moral Foundations Theory, an account of how a small set of psychological systems are the innate “foundation” of moral psychology, yet moral virtues are socially constructed on top of those foundations. See

4) Civil Politics: Studying the psychological foundations of liberal and conservative ideologies. Examining the ways that moral commitments blind partisans to the truth and drive them to hold destructive and close-minded views of their opponents. Testing methods to reduce moralism and judgmentalism. See .

5) The positive moral emotions: Documenting the existence of a set of positive emotions caused by exposure to excellence, virtue, and beauty. Moral elevation is a response to witnessing acts of moral beauty. It makes people want to become more virtuous themselves. Exploring the possible use of elevation experiences in leadership, and the support of an ethical climate in organizations. See
